Given two toy deals, it correctly flagged the 70-day-old, single-threaded, three-weeks-silent one as a zombie with a one-week resurrect-or-kill deadline, versus a baseline that just said 'follow up with them' -- the scoring framework did real diagnostic work instead of generic commentary.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 9/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Pipeline Review does

Scores individual deals on a weighted 6-criteria framework, flags risk types (no next step, single-threaded, aging, ghost champion), and runs a 'zombie deal' forced disqualification process (resurrect / re-stage / kill within a week) for pipeline reviews. It operates on pipeline data or deal notes you paste in or describe -- it is not a live CRM integration, so a tester needs a CRM export or manual deal summaries as input. Triggers on pipeline review, deal scoring, and stalled/dead-deal cleanup requests; defers forecasting math to the forecast skill.
